Forget about guards, the three of them didn't even see a single person.
At this moment, the passage was quiet, with only the sound of their own footsteps and breathing.
"Perhaps the people of the Earth Dragon Gate think this place is too cold, and no one could possibly get in and stay for a long time."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng shared his guess.
Then, he turned to look at the two women and asked with concern, "How are you two?"
"I can still hold on."
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and urged her soul power to circulate within her body.
Soul power flowed through his meridians throughout his body, keeping the biting cold at bay.
However, doing so was very taxing, and Ning Rongrong could feel her soul power gradually draining away.
"I'm fine."
Zhu Zhuqing said.
Upon hearing their reply, Wang Teng frowned and quickened his pace.
However, the passage was longer than Wang Teng had expected, winding its way downwards and seemingly leading straight to the heart of the ice cliff.
The ice walls on both sides became smoother and smoother, gradually transforming from a rough, natural form into a nearly transparent crystal.
After walking for about half an hour, the passage finally came to an end.
At the end is a natural ice cave.
The ice cave was several times wider than the passage, about half the size of a football field.
In the very center of the ice cave is a pool of water about two zhang in diameter, with an irregular shape.
A thin mist shrouded the pool, making it appear indistinct.
"It's so beautiful..."
Ning Rongrong sighed softly.
"It's so cold here."
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she unconsciously clenched her collar with both hands.
The chill emanating from the pool was several levels stronger than that in the passage.
The chill seemed alive, rising from the water's surface and permeating the entire ice cave.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to increase their soul power output to barely withstand the cold.
Ning Rongrong's face had turned a little pale, and Zhu Zhuqing's brows were furrowed.
Wang Teng didn't rush to get closer to the pool.
He closed his eyes and extended his mental energy outward, like an invisible net, slowly covering the entire pool.
As soon as his mental energy touched the water's surface, Wang Teng sensed a strong energy fluctuation deep within the pool.
It was like something was sleeping, or perhaps breathing, radiating energy outwards in waves.
There's something down there.
Wang Teng opened his eyes, stared at the pool, and spoke with certainty.
"Are you going down?"
Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood what Wang Teng meant.
Wang Teng nodded.
He began to take off his fur coat, leaving only his close-fitting outfit.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Teng's sleeve, saying worriedly, "Are you crazy? This water looks like it could freeze a person into an icicle!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Wang Teng patted Ning Rongrong's hand, smiled, and said, "Have you forgotten? I've taken the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. These two immortal herbs give me strong resistance to both ice and fire."
"This water is deadly to you, but to me it's just a little cold."
Wang Teng spoke casually, but Ning Rongrong was still worried and held onto his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, her lips moved, but in the end she only said one sentence: "Be careful."
Wang Teng pulled his sleeve back from Ning Rongrong's hand, took a deep breath, and jumped into the pool.
With a "plop," water splashed up and echoed several times in the ice cave.
As Wang Teng entered the water, the chill did not have much of an effect on him, just as he had expected.
The cool pool water enveloped his body, like the mountain stream in early autumn, cool but not bone-chilling.
Then, Wang Teng opened his eyes and found that the underwater visibility was even better than the surface. The pool water was incredibly clear, and everything around him was shrouded in a faint blue light.
He swung his arms and began to dive down.
The pool was much deeper than Wang Teng could see from above.
After descending more than ten meters, we still hadn't reached the bottom. The ice walls on both sides became narrower and narrower, gradually closing into a slit.
Blue light shines down from above, illuminating the suspended particles in the water, like a slowly falling star.
Wang Teng felt the surrounding temperature dropping.
Although it was still bearable for him, it was definitely getting colder.
However, the energy fluctuations that Wang Teng had sensed earlier were becoming increasingly intense, and they were located not far below.
Wang Teng continued his descent.
At this moment, above the pool.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had retreated to the edge of the ice cave, leaning against an ice wall, watching their surroundings warily.
The two girls stood back to back.
One side faces the pool, and the other faces the entrance to the passage, forming the simplest defensive formation.
"There's no movement from the other side of the passage."
Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.
There were no fluctuations of soul power around the ice cave.
Ning Rongrong added a sentence.
They stood guard like that, without moving.
Time passed slowly and silently.
Soon, a layer of white frost formed on Ning Rongrong's eyelashes.
In the distance, deep within the passage, a faint sound of footsteps could be heard, barely audible, like grains of sand being blown by the wind.
Zhu Zhuqing's ears twitched slightly, and her soul power began to circulate within her body.
……
Meanwhile, below the icy pool.
Wang Teng finally dived to the bottom of the pool.
The bottom of the pool was more open than he had expected.
The shape here resembles an inverted large bowl.
The four walls were covered with smooth ice, and the chill was constantly released into the pool water.
After diving to the bottom of the pool, Wang Teng steadied himself and quickly looked around.
Something was glowing in the surrounding ice.
They were irregular crystals, varying in size, some as small as a thumb, others as large as a fist.
Their color is a very pale blue, almost transparent.
In addition, these crystals also emit faint energy fluctuations.
Clearly, this is the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow.
Chapter 441 Shocking Changes in the Ice Cave, the Soul Saint Descends
Seeing the ancient ice marrow all around, a smile appeared on Wang Teng's lips, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Finally found it."
However, although the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Marrow had been found, Wang Teng did not rush to start digging.
Because all those millennia-old mystic ice marrow are embedded in the ice layer.
Wang Teng tried it with his hand and found that the ice here was extremely hard and could not be dug out by hand.
Moreover, the surrounding ice layer is a single, solid structure, making it extremely difficult to dig.
After careful observation, Wang Teng realized that if he didn't first destroy the ice structure here, it would be difficult for him to extract these millennia-old ice marrow intact.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Teng took two steps back.
Then, activate your soul power.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Supreme Golden Armor Spinning Top!"
A golden light surged from Wang Teng's body and condensed into a giant golden top in the water.
A spinning top appears somewhat cumbersome in water than on land.
The resistance in the water was too great, and the Supreme Golden Armor Spinning Top's rotation speed slowed down significantly.
Ultimate move: Earth Collapse and Devastation!
Wang Teng gave a low shout, and the Supreme Golden Armor Spinning Top suddenly trembled.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from the tip of the spindle.
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a crack started from the tip of the spindle and spread outwards in all directions along the ice layer at the bottom of the water.
